J & M Plumbers

Joel B.

Same day service, affordable and very knowledgeable. Jesus explained to me what was wrong with the current parts for my kitchen sink and what parts I needed. He was able to get the job done quickly and his prices were very reasonable. I recommend calling him to come out.

Discovered my house's thermocouple wasn't working anymore and 2 hours later, Jesus came to our house and fixed it right away for us, it cost $150 and that included parts and labor.

Thank you for your efficiency and great work

Anthony D.

Had a sink that was clogged with a lot of grease around the piping so Jesus came out to inspect the issue and provide a quote. The pipe needed a hydrojet to clean it, but Jesus was able to do it at a great cost and very quickly. Definitely recommended.

Ryan C.

Reliable and professional. Compared to other plumbers, this is a very reasonable company that I can trust. Fixed the water valves for my washers and dryers.

Jene D.

This company is the best. We had a link under our kitchen sink. The plumber we had was friendly and thorough. I was overjoyed with how pleasant the entire experience was. Amazing and professional service. I'm so pleased with our experience. I am a loyal customer for life.

After a few attempts to contact J&M, Jesus returned my call and set an appointment for the same day. They show up promptly, fixed my broken drain pipe, and replaced a hose bib with no hiccups.

Lynn B.

Jesus came and quickly did the electronic leak detection and water leak repair, right on the spot. Issue resolved! Thank you so much Jesus!

Jesus, a guy with integrity and value! I had a slab leak (3rd times) and being fed up with the previous contractor I had, I called Jesus! He came immediately, detected the leak, and re-piped my entire house in a week. Not only did his crew did a great job, he had like 8 people working I pairs at different area. He completed the re-pipe in 1 day, and took only a week to complete entire job. I recommended him to 2 of my closest friend & family. I now have his number as he'll be my go-to guy from now on. Every area was handled with precision and care plus he is a really nice guy too!

1. Jesus of J & M Plumbers is my new go-to plumber. He ROCKS! He's the only one of four plumbing-hip people who had the know-how, integrity, skill, & tools to clear my dammed kitchen clean-out. He's the BEST! Here's why. (Skip to paragraphs 5 - 10 if you're busy.)

2. I tried to fix our clogged pipe under the sink myself: to a hose-end I attached a ""Drain-King"" - an inflatable rubber attachment - to flush out the drain. That method had worked in the past, but as it turned out, this hose was even older & frailer than I! Alas, the end of it broke off, and I couldn't fish it out. So I called two handymen, who tried valiantly, but couldn't retrieve it, shred the rubber, or flush the object out to the street.

3. Next I called a $66-to-unclog-your-drain plumber. Two polite, experienced, professional-seeming men showed up in blue uniforms. They couldn't clear the drain, either, but for $200 they used a sensor to tell me it was under my floor, and that I'd probably have to rip through my floor and concrete base, or break through the concrete patio in front in hopes of getting to the King. They wanted $2,800 to do that, but said ""no guarantee"" of success, and I said I'd seek a second opinion.

4. Then I went to an old list of praised plumbers from years ago. No one called back. So I checked out Yelp, and was inspired to call J & M Plumbers b/c of glowing reviews about the salvific Jesus. With good humor he responded at once to my prayer for help. This friendly guy came over with his bright son Jeremiah, scoped out the situation, & said he could break through the concrete for $1,200, tho' it would likely not help the situation. (Btw, the next day another plumber returned my call and said he'd charge $1,200 too, and he didn't know about Jesus. So he & Jesus made those other two nice plumbers look downright predatory - & almost as pricey as Cole Services.)

5. Jesus then said he'd be willing to try what the others had failed at. If he failed too, he said, his efforts would be free, but if he succeeded, he'd charge $450 for the cleaning plus more to remove the King. It was close to Independence Day, and I recalled how costly it was to get King George III out of the picture back in 1776 when I was a boy, so I said yea, but added that since I'd surely give Jesus $50 for trying, how 'bout coming down to $400. We agreed. He & Jeremiah set right to work.

6. I had no idea the task would take so long or require so many hours of effort, sweat, & imagination. Jesus couldn't use a camera, since the murky drain water prevented his seeing anything. But he fetched an extra-slender snake from his miraculous truck and snaked it (sorry: no other verb will do!) up the pipe, back & forth, over & over, 'til he'd just barely squeezed by the rubber Drain King, which had swollen up so full with water it blocked almost all the space in the drain. ""Almost"" is the key here, for Jesus was able to squeak by the King and unlock the door - er, unclog the drain: after mucho trying and retrying on his part, the King dam gave way and the water burst through the blockage!

7. Jesus could now send a camera downstream to see what was what. Aha! the King's tubular rubber part was parallel with the pipe, behind all we could see: that durned brass hose end gleaming in mockery at our efforts. It was the reason no one else had been able to push the King further or shred it - that brass hose-end was like a little shield protecting the rubber.

8. So Jesus got some hyper-hydro action going, and - after, again, a great deal of effort and jet-stream-fast water blasts - he was able to flush out the King into the wider main drain. Then he finished clearing my clean-out pipe, showed me (w/his camera) some roots in the pipe, saying that my handyman could take care of that, which I appreciated. Now, I had anxiously watched Jesus work very hard - and resourcefully, first trying one approach, then another - for hours. So I much appreciated this gambler's dedication, competence, belief in himself, and willingness to take a risk. Young Jeremiah was a real help to him, too.

9. After a day of misery, I saw that Jesus was indeed The Man, and I cheerfully (for me, a cheapskate) handed him $400 plus $200 more, which we both felt was a fair deal for all the extra work - and achievement! - his confidence (emanating from years of experience - plus an array of expensive tools) had prompted him to dare attempt.

10. You had to have been there to see how hard he was working, but I think that in his three hours of dedicated, dogged, intelligent effort - which ended in success and glory! - he saved me from having to rip up my floor or my concrete just in the hope of maybe clearing my kitchen clean-out. He definitely saved my bacon and well earned his money. So I may be a little poorer today, but thanks to him & his son, not nearly as poor as I could have been. So I say, blessed are the poor, and blessed be Jesus for sure!

One of our toilets wasn't flushing properly. So, I got the trusty old manual snake out. It flushes OK now. But since I found a few tree roots I knew that was just a temporary fix.

So, I sent the following to J&M via a Yelp ""request for quote"".

I need a ballpark estimate for the following:
1) Clean-out tree roots from the main sewer line (black ABS).
It's about 30 feet from the main clean-out to the sidewalk (the clean-out is in the side yard).
2) Clean-out toilet drain line to the main clean-out.
The main clean-out is adjacent to the toilet that was backing-up (about six feet away).
You'll probably have to remove the toilet to do this.
3) Treat sewer line with a foaming dichlobenil root killer like Roebic or RootX.

He was the only guy that actually ANSWERED all of my questions!

He replied saying that his estimates were exactly that, just estimates. However, he did offer a free in home consultation.

I made an appointment. He came-out inspected the drains and said that the main sewer line was clear. That was certainly good news.

That being the case he suspected that the source of the roots was from root intrusion into the toilet drain near the flange.

He gave me a price for pulling the toilet to determine if that was truly the source of the problem. I said, OK.

Upon pulling the toilet he found that the wax seal had been totally replaced by roots! He pulled 3 feet of roots from the toilet drain.

Since the toilet didn't wobble or leak at the base, I was totally amazed by this. The tree roots apparently suck up every drop of water available.

Then he cleaned up the mess caused by the roots, put in a new wax seal and re-installed the toilet.

The bad news is that it the problem may re-occur if the root doesn't die. If that happens, I'll dump some copper sulfate on the exposed root.

I didn't want to do that this time around for fear that I'd stain the surrounding tile.

Well, it's been a year now and it's still flushing OK. All in all, I've got zero complaints with the work that he did.

PS

While he was there I also had him clean-out one of our shower drains that was slow. Turns-out it was mostly caked-up soap.
